Everyone knows there is a lot hiding in unplayed tapes from Donald Trump’s many visits to the Howard Stern Show. But unfortunately, Stern won’t be releasing them.

Shock jock Stern said, “Why don’t I play all the tapes? I have to tell you why: I feel Donald Trump did the show in an effort to be entertaining and have fun with us and I feel like it would be a betrayal to any of our guests if I sat there and played them now where people are attacking him.”

Stern said he is honored the chats are sparking controversy and conversation, saying it would be very easy to play all the Trump tapes in their entirety.

“I knew I had a guy who loved to talk about sex… I had a guy who loved to evaluate women on a scale of 1-10. These are avenues I went down because I knew it would entertain the audience,” Stern said this morning on Sirius XM.

Stern seems to be baffled by all the talk surrounding his show, but assured his audience that there’s “nothing to find.”

“I wasn’t imagining that I would be in the middle of this election and literally so prominently mentioned,” Stern said.

“Quite frankly, as someone just said, I’m surprised they didn’t find these earlier … There’s nothing to find. As the guy said, they were right there in the open.”

Stern also mentioned that he had talked to Trump in private at the beginning of his campaign, according to Billboard.

“I said, ‘why are you doing this?’” Stern said he asked Trump at the time. “Why would a guy with billions of dollars [run for president]?… Don’t you know what they’re gonna do to you? Don’t you know they’re gonna open up everything?”

I can only IMAGINE what has been said on Stern’s show, and I am sure the media is pouring through old tapes to find something.
